    Learning the basics of art

    Alright, I see what's going on... Please read again what I wrote, for the most part, you are repeating basically what I said, we are in agreement... only your whole discourse is incoherent. Your statement and descriptions don't match. I'm saying you have a cognitive dissonance issue right...

    Learning the basics of art

    Your "argument" is nonsensical and unscientific. Yes, current AI is a prediction machine, but it changes nothing. It's a tool, and as any tool, it requires input from the user; when we are in the spectrum of art, that input and intent is what art is. Art, as its fundamental, is simply described...

    Learning the basics of art

    I have a legitimate answer for that as someone who has learned art and uses AI to make things (not the text, adding images and music to my story) Because learning art gives you a sense of what you need to ask the AI, how to guide it, and how to compose images and structures. When you don't know...

    Should you study art from the basics?

    Yes, it helps getting to more skillfullness faster, if you don't have to reinvent the wheel but keep making throughout, and don't overglamourise the structure. Ultimately the goal is to understand the mechanics and how they interface with the human brain so you can learn to have people feel what...

    hello again, need feedback on my rewritten chapter!

    Something that jumped at me very early on, this sentence "Rain in Neo-Veridian wasn't weather. It was infrastructure." The structure "it wasn't x it was x" is used a LOT by AI to the point it feels cliche at this time. You might want to watch out for it. It's one of these AIisms that tend not to...

    Has anyone else learned to spot AI stories?

    You know, it's not just AI using the M dash; they use it because it's valid punctuation. AI detection tools are completely farcical trash; they don't work, and it has been demonstrated over and over again. And often, the usual witch-hunter anti-AI crowd jumps to the wrong conclusion and burns a...

    Has anyone else learned to spot AI stories?

    I do the same; it helps me better understand the symbolic layers and lenticular analysis of my narrative and keep them coherent in the long run by... misinterpreting XD

    Highly experimental: in need of genuine feedbacks.

    First, thank you for giving it a try. Clearly, though, you didn't quite get the idea, and from it stem many misconceptions... and I suspect a lot of your personal worldview and life experience fall far outside of this type of reality. That's one of the reasons this work is challenging if you do...

    Have you ever put one of your stories on hiatus?

    You're a real one, (y)respect.

    How was your first experience with publishing here?

    I'll be totally blunt, abysmal. I got 2 things here, either being completely ignored or, like today, getting a random .5* with no explanation after what I suspect is seconds. It's not surprising, really. I'm trying something truly experimental and am working with AI to add music and images...

    Have you ever put one of your stories on hiatus?

    I do all the time, it's a complex story and requires a lot of thinking to build and combine music and images, so... it's not an applicable case to you, I'm guessing, as I only write because I want to finish my project for its own sake. It is an artistic venture, not an attention-grabbing one...

    ADHD feedback for your chapters

    Ah, a fellow neurodivergent XD also on ADHD and Autism spectrums here! So, I have a very weird one for you. I want to be 100% honest, I do use AI but only for the music and the visuals (and one specific chapter supposed to be written by a bad AI so what better than a bad AI to write bad AI XD)...

    Highly experimental: in need of genuine feedbacks.

    I explained the formatting in the author's note right at the beginning. The italicized text is sensory impressions. The story is an internal first-person; I aim to plunge people into her psyche and body. The images and the music are used to replace traditional narration. Together, they allow you...

    Highly experimental: in need of genuine feedbacks.

    You don't have to be anxious about the technicality; I am simply looking for gut feelings. Think of it like a weird hybrid between a movie and a book, and tell me how the structure makes you feel. This is more about gut feeling than anything else, really. Yes, my explanation is somewhat...

    Highly experimental: in need of genuine feedbacks.

    Not exactly, it is structured like one, I'm considering turning it into a first-person VR movie at some point, but technically it isn't, though it is similar to one in nature. This is v3, the v2 was an attempt at pure dialogue, no narration at all... the name tags were the solution I found then...
